Choi Chil-Sung (So Ji-Sub) is the top fighter in Kyungsung (old name of “Seoul”). He makes troubles on Battleship Island, but he has a warm heart.

Waited forever to watch this and I finally saw it. SONG JONG KI! It pains me to see him injured but he was so heroic!! So Ji Sub always amazing. I felt like the movie was a little rush therefore it didn't felt like the plot line run smoothly but for the most part you are able to understand the meaning of the movie. It was a good movie over all. They did really well trying to make everything look realistic. It makes me sad to watch war movie because the way people are treated is so sad to watch. I especially hate it when they kidnap women and sell them for prostitution, having them get raped. I just can't watch that but the movie is good.

Loved this movie. To me, it seemed like an amazing and entertaining action-fantasy epic that had a lot of great visuals, action scenes and emotional sequences. A lot of Indian viewers are willing to watch this movie. Hope it gets released here too. If theatrically, I'll go for it once again because such epics are better enjoyed on big screens!

Song Joong Ki only appears after the first quarter of the film was shown. I was like... "where's he?!" ?? But the anticipation was over when he appears... as we all know that he's the lead actor of this movie... the "savior". ?

Hwang Jung Min (Ode to My Father, You Are My Sunshine) as expected... never fails to amaze me with his acting, humor, drama... superb! ??

Battleship Island should be movie of the year, It was one of the best pieces of writing I have ever seen, especially because it deals with historical context. Superb acting from So Ji-sub, Song Joong-ki & Hwang Jung-min. I can watch this movie a dozen times and I will cry every time for sadness of plot, but joy for greatness of hard work put into this production.

Do you know by any chance when this is going to be released? I was reading online about "Descendant of the Sun" season two, and this movie popped up saying he was currently being filmed in. I gotta say I love the SongSong couple, especially Song Joong Ki! :P

Regardless of his flower boy image Song Jong Ki has always gotten manly roles ... even more so after his discharge. He's growing and growing <3 I'm a proud fan.

Omg this is going to be a sad, but I really want to see a movie of this topic. Especially after I've seen an episode of Infinity Challenge that gave a glimpse of Hashima Island.
